Summary

Adds a prebuilt NVIDIA 580 Open kernel-module path for the pinned linux-surface kernel, intended for the RTX 5060 Thunderbolt eGPU.

Changes

  • Build kmod-nvidia from RPM Fusion akmod-nvidia against the pinned linux-surface kernel during the image build.
  • Install the generated local kmod RPM and NVIDIA userspace packages in the immutable image transaction.
  • Enable nvidia-drm.modeset=1 declaratively through bootc kernel arguments.
  • Document package provenance, Secure Boot constraints, and the physical enclosure attach/test workflow.

Verification

  • Built localhost/daedalus-microsoft-surface-intel:nvidia-egpu-check.
  • Verified kmod-nvidia-6.19.8-3.surface.fc43.x86_64-580.173.02-1.fc43 and the NVIDIA userspace packages.
  • Verified nvidia.ko vermagic matches 6.19.8-3.surface.fc43.x86_64, only one module tree remains, the patched surface_gpe remains present, and tailscaled is enabled.
  • bootc container lint: 13 checks passed, 1 skipped.

Physical eGPU attachment remains the post-switch hardware validation step.
